Can I get a clean shaven look with no stubbles with a beard transplant?

Question

I'm trying to shave off my beard to clean look is it possible with a beard transplant? I don't like these stubbles at all.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

A beard transplant procedure is designed to give individuals a fuller, more defined beard by transplanting hair follicles from another part of the body (usually the back of the scalp) to the beard area. This can greatly enhance the appearance of the beard when it is grown out.

However, a beard transplant does not change the nature of the hair or its growth patterns. This means if you shave your beard after a transplant, you would still experience the same stubble growth as you would with a natural beard.

In other words, a beard transplant can give you a fuller beard when grown out, but it won't provide a permanently clean-shaven look with no stubble. For a clean-shaven look, regular shaving or other hair removal techniques would still be necessary.

As always, it's best to have a detailed discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to understand what you can realistically expect from a beard transplant procedure.

Hello, and thank you for your question. A beard transplant typically gives you a fuller beard, but it does not give you a no-stubble look.   If and when you go for a consultation, make sure you are clear as to what you're looking for with a transplant.  Best of luck to you.
